i disagree with the comment that shoshana's voice is only for "wicked pop rock" and not the "broadway-ish" sound (whatever you define that to be). If you have ever been lucky enough to watch her perform her one-woman show, she sings a HUGE and i mean HUGE assortment of songs that showcase how versatile her voice really is. She can sing high operatic tones with ease, then quickly change to deep rich tones, and then switch to what you might call "pop-ish" sounding. She can belt and sing soprano with natural control and ease, and though is admittedly still young with not as much broadway experience under her belt as the other stars with "broadway-ish" type voices (still want to know how you would define that), she has the power behind her voice to sing circles around some of them...
"Bean has an unbelievable voice that is thrilling in its beauty, theatricality and sheer power. In fact–and as crazy as this will sound to those who haven’t heard her–she can sing circles around her idols with one of the most category-defying, voices I’ve ever heard" - David Hurst
if you haven't heard her, don't knock her. and if you have and don't care for her voice, thats fine, congrats to you for forming an informed opinion. You do not however, need to bash those who like her voice and imply that they do not appreciate true talent and that what they do happen to enjoy is just a fad. (And i said BASH-- not "do not voice your opinion" -- but do not knock down, insult, and say things you cannot back with fact.) A fad it may be... but it is not your place to put people down for liking what they like.
